STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCHThis invention was made with government support under Grant No. 586077 awarded by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The government has certain rights in the invention.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThis invention is generally directed to solar cells (photovoltaic devices), and particularly to a sputtering process for depositing electrode thin film(s) onto the solar cells to avoid damaging the devices and consequently to obtain high yield.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONSolar cells usually have one or more semiconductor p-n junctions or p-i-n junctions. To collect light generated electrical charges, conductive electrode materials are deposited on both sides of the solar cells to form functional photovoltaic devices. Depending on the semiconductor material and its form, solar cells can be classified into several types, such as crystalline Si solar cells, thin film amorphous/microcrystalline Si and/or SiGe alloy based solar cells, CdTe solar cells, CuInGaSn solar cells, GaAs solar cells, and the like.
Each type of solar cell has specific features and has different methods of manufacture. For example, a substrate-type thin film amorphous/microcrystalline Si-based solar cell may be fabricated by passing a stainless steel web through a succession of chambers, each depositing one kind of thin film semiconductor layer; i.e., n-type, intrinsic (i-layer), and p-type Si, to form a thin film n-i-p semiconductor junction, or “stack.” Such a type of thin film semiconductor deposition process offers several distinct advantages over crystalline materials, insofar as they can be easily and economically fabricated into a variety of devices by mass production. In such cases, a substrate (such as a stainless steel substrate) serves as a back electrode (opaque), while a transparent conductive thin film, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), serves as a front electrode which allows light to pass therethrough.
The semiconductor layers forming the stack of the thin film amorphous/microcrystalline Si-based solar cells are usually deposited onto the substrate by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), while the electrode thin films are deposited onto the stack by a physical vapor deposition (PVD)—most commonly by sputtering.
It has been noted, however, that the type of sputtering process used for depositing the transparent conductive thin film onto the solar cell stack has a significant effect on the yield of the device. This effect is more pronounced for amorphous/microcrystalline Si-based thin film solar cells grown on metal substrate. Among various types of sputtering processes, a radio frequency (RF) sputtering process shows less impact on the yield of the solar cell, while a direct current (DC) sputtering process usually causes serious damage to the solar cell stack, as evidenced by zero open circuit voltage at room temperature. Therefore, the RF sputtering process is commonly used to deposit the electrode thin film.
However, even for the RF sputtering deposition process, the yield of the solar cell is still not satisfactory. The yield of the solar cell with an RF-sputtered electrode film is dependent on a number of factors such as the substrate surface roughness, the sputtering system configuration, the sputtering parameters, and deposition process of the p-layer or the n-layer (whichever is in contact with the top electrode film).
In the past, the difficulty in optimizing these factors had lead to poor repeatability and made quality control difficult in large area mass production. Furthermore, the RF sputtering process requires a complicated and expensive power system and matching network, while the ultimate rate of deposition is low; generally, about half the rate as that of a DC sputtering deposition process. As a consequence, this increases the manufacturing costs for producing photovoltaic devices, such as solar panels and the like.
What is needed is a method for efficiently producing photovoltaic devices and solar cells which reduces or eliminates damage to the solar cell during a sputtering deposition process where a conductive material is applied to the solar cell.
There is a further need for a system which achieves a sufficiently high deposition rate so as to make the manufacturing process rapid, energy conservative, and economically feasible.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn a first broad aspect, there is provided herein a method for depositing a conductive material on a solar cell having a doped outer layer, the method comprising:
applying an electrical bias to the solar cell, grounding the solar cell, or setting the solar cell at an electrically floating potential;
generating a plasma of negatively and positively charged particles to produce a sputtering of a target material; and,
depositing the target material as a thin film onto the doped outer layer of the solar cell;
where the applied electrical bias/grounding/floating potential to the solar cell reduces the amount of certain types of charged particles reaching the doped outer layer of the solar cell.
In certain embodiments, where the solar cell is deposited on a substrate, the method can include applying the electrical bias to the substrate, grounding the substrate, or setting the substrate at an electrically floating potential.
In certain embodiments, the electrical bias/grounding/floating potential is sufficient to substantially prevent certain of the charged particles from creating a sufficiently high reverse bias on the solar cell so as to damage the solar cell.
In certain embodiments, the target material comprises a transparent conductive electrode (TCE) material. In certain embodiments, the conductive material comprises one or more layers of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film(s), one or more layers of metal film(s), or a combination of both.

generating a plasma of negatively and positively charged particles to produce a sputtering of a target material, and
depositing the target material onto the doped outer layer of the solar cell,

depositing the target material onto the doped outer layer of the solar cell, the electrical bias applied to the external electrode causing a certain type of charged particles in the plasma to move preferentially toward the external electrode(s), reducing the amount of such charged particles that reach the doped outer layer of the solar cell to create a reverse bias sufficiently high as to damage the solar cell during the deposition process.
The electrical bias applied to the external electrode(s) depends on the solar cell structure. In certain embodiments, where the solar cell has a p-type layer as the doped outer semiconductor layer, the method includes applying a positive bias to the external electrode(s) or setting the external electrode(s) at ground potential.

Various objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, when read in light of the accompanying drawings.
In a first, broad aspect, there is described herein a system for reducing or substantially preventing damaging a solar cell during the sputtering deposition of a conductive electrode thin film material onto an outer layer of the solar cell.
It is to be understood that, as generally described herein, a thin film photovoltaic (PV) device generally comprises a substrate; (optionally, a back reflector that consists of a reflective metal layer and a transparent conductive oxide layer deposited on the substrate); a thin film silicon-based semiconductor body, or “solar cell”, deposited on the substrate; and a conductive electrode layer deposited on a top surface of the solar cell.
In a particular aspect, there is described herein a system for depositing a transparent conductive electrode (TCE) thin film on a top surface of a solar cell (i.e., semiconductor junction or “stack” as further described herein) that has been deposited on a substrate. The system includes controlling the electrical potential of the substrate during the deposition of the transparent conductive electrode (TCE) thin film such that charged particles of a certain type are not directed toward the solar cell and/or do not create a reverse bias that is sufficiently high to damage the solar cell.
Substrate
In certain embodiments, the substrate may be made of a single-substance conductive material. In other embodiments, the substrate can be formed as a conductive layer on a support where the support is composed of an insulating material or a conductive material.
The conductive materials may include, for example, metals such as NiCr, stainless steel, Al, Cr, Mo, Au, Nb, Ta, V, Ti, Pt, Pb, Sn, and alloys thereof.
In addition, the thickness of the substrate may be appropriately determined so as to be able to form photovoltaic elements as desired, but when the photovoltaic element is required to have flexibility, the substrate can be made as thin as possible within the range of sufficiently exhibiting the support function.
Doped Layers (p-Layer, n-Layer)
In general, the PV devices rely on the semiconductor body to convert sunlight into electricity. The semiconductor body is generally comprised of at least two layers of opposite types—one layer being an n-layer with an extra concentration of negatively charged electrons, and the other layer being a p-layer with an extra concentration of positively charged holes.
It is to be understood that, in certain embodiments, the solar cell stack can be comprised of a single- or multi-junction solar cell stack that includes at least one n-type layer and at least one p-type layer. In certain embodiments, the semiconductor junction (i.e., the “stack” comprised of n-p, n-i-p, p-i-n, etc. layers) can be deposited onto the substrate. Also, in certain embodiments, the solar cell stack can have a laminated pin structure such as: “pinpin” structures, “pinpinpin” structures, “nipnip” structures or “nipnipnip” structures.
It is to be understood that the method described herein can successfully be applied to single, double and triple junction solar cells (either of the “nip” type or “pin” type). For example, a photovoltaic device can include a layer of transparent, electrically-conductive electrode material, a solar cell material (i.e., “nip” or “pin” material), and a back electrode.
The solar cell layers, i.e., n-layer, i-layer, p-layer, can be made by at least one of the following methods: cathodic direct current glow discharge, anodic direct current glow discharge, radio frequency glow discharge, very high frequency (VHF) glow discharge, alternate current glow discharge, or microwave glow discharge at a pressure ranging from about 0.1 to about 10 TORR with a dilution ratio of dilutant to feedstock (deposition gas) ranging from about 5:1 to about 200:1.
In certain embodiments, n-type doping may be achieved with an n-type chemical dopant (“dopant”), such as, e.g., PH3; p-type doping may be achieved using a p-type chemical dopant, such as, e.g., BF3.
One non-limiting example of a solar cell is an amorphous silicon semiconductor solar cell which is comprised of a p-i-n amorphous silicon thin film semiconductor. The amorphous silicon semiconductor material can be comprised of one or more of: hydrogenated amorphous silicon, hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon or hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium. In certain other embodiments, the stack of the doped layer(s) can be composed of a non-single crystalline silicon type semiconductor. Examples of the “amorphous” (abbreviated as “a-”) silicon type semiconductor include a-Si, a-SiGe, a-SiC, a-SiO, a-SiN, a-SiCO, a-SiON, a-SiNC, a-SiGeC, a-SiGeN, a-SiGeO, a-SiCON, and a-SiGeCON.
i-Layer
In certain embodiments, the solar cell semiconductor junction, or stack, includes an intrinsic layer (i-layer) interposed between an n-layer and a p-layer. In one non-limiting example, an amorphous silicon-containing, undoped, active intrinsic i-layer can be deposited upon, positioned between, and connected to the p-layer and an n-type amorphous silicon-containing layer.
In certain embodiments, each photovoltaic junction also contains an intrinsic layer (i-layer) sandwiched between an n-layer and a p-layer. The i-layer can be an undoped or lightly doped hydrogenated semiconductor material based on amorphous silicon, microcrystalline silicon, nanocrystalline silicon, amorphous germanium, microcrystalline germanium, nanocrystalline germanium, or alloys of two or more of these semiconductor materials. The semiconductor material generally has a bandgap energy (or bandgap), or multiple bandgaps that are appropriately selected to achieve output performance of the solar cell based on factors, such as, cell configuration and materials, efficiency, and available light energy. The bandgap may also be adjusted, for example, by varying the content of germanium or hydrogen in hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium alloy (a-Si1-xGex:H).
In certain embodiments, the i-layer may be made of an amorphous silicon type semiconductor, whether slightly p-type or slightly n-type. Other non-limiting examples of the amorphous silicon type semiconductors may include a-Si, a-SiC, a-SiO, a-SiN, a-SiCO, a-SiON, a-SiNC, a-SiCON, a-SiGe, a-SiGeC, a-SiGeO, a-SiGeN, a-SiCON, a-SiGeNC, and a-SiGeCON.
Transparent Conductive Electrode Layer (TCE)
Non-limiting examples of suitable transparent conductive electrode (TCE) materials include: indium oxide (In2O3), tin oxide (SnO2), ITO (In2O3+SnO2), to which fluorine, zinc oxide, silver, combinations of or alloys of these materials may be added.
The deposition of the transparent conductive electrode (TCE) is optimally performed by a suitable deposition method such as a direct current (DC) sputtering or radio frequency (RF) sputtering deposition process.

Referring now to the embodiment shown in
The p-type layer 18 is exposed to a plasma 30 comprised of positively and negatively charged particles. It is to be understood that, in certain embodiments, the plasma 30 can be generated using a magnetron cathode system 32 which can be operated by either a direct current (DC) power system or a radio frequency (RF) power system. In the schematic illustration of
In the embodiment illustrated in
In the embodiment shown in
In another embodiment, the solar cell 10 can have an n-type layer, such as p-layer 14, facing the plasma where a positively biased substrate, similar to substrate 12, redirects positively charged particles away from the solar cell, avoiding potential damage on the solar cells caused by reverse bias on the solar cell structure.
Referring now to the embodiment shown in
The p-type layer 118 is exposed to a plasma 130 comprised of positively and negatively charged particles. It is to be understood that in certain embodiments, the plasma 130 can be generated using a magnetron cathode system 132 which can be operated by either a direct current (DC) power system or a radio frequency (RF) power system. In the schematic illustration of
The system 108 includes one or more external electrodes 140 and 142, being set in a spaced relationship from an outer surface 119 of the solar cell 110. During the deposition of the transparent conductive electrode film onto the solar cell 110, the external electrode(s) 140 and/or 142 can be set at a potential different from that of the support 120, depending on the solar cell structure.
The movement of the charged particles in the plasma can be controlled also by a bias applied on the external electrodes 140 and/or 142 located in front of the solar cell 110 during the sputtering deposition process. Movement of the charged particles is controlled because negatively charged particles prefer to move towards a higher potential, while positively charged particles tend to move towards a lower potential.
With a configuration shown in
Thus, the bias potential on the external electrode(s) 140 and/or 142 is applied in such a way to avoid negatively charged particles in the plasma from reaching solar cells 110 with p-layer facing the plasma 130, or to avoid positively charged particles from reaching solar cells with an n-layer facing the plasma 130.
Different combinations of bias potentials can be applied to the external electrode(s) 140, 142, and the substrate 112. For example, in an embodiment shown in
The invention is further defined in the following Examples. It should be understood that these Examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only. From the above discussion and these Examples, one skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions. All publications, including patents and non-patent literature, referred to in this specification are expressly incorporated by reference herein.
Comparing the DC and RF sputtering processes (i.e.,
As such, using the methods described herein, a high rate deposition of the top transparent conductive electrode (TCE) film can be realized without compromising the solar cell performance.
The optimal value and polarity of the applied electrical bias depend on the structure and type of the photovoltaic devices, whether it is n-i-p type or p-i-n type, single junction cell or multi-junction cell. The structure of the solar cell also determines the type of conductive electrode coatings to be applied.
For example, a triple-junction Si-based thin film solar cell can include a nip/nip/nip triple junction cell deposited on a stainless steel substrate such that the “n” layer of the bottom cell is nearest the steel substrate. In this case, a transparent conductive thin film (for example, indium tin oxide, ITO) needs to be deposited on the “p” layer of the top cell to serve as a front electrode.
